Oh! What fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

Dashing through the snow, In a one horse open sleigh; Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bobtail ring, Making spirits bright; What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! (Oh, )

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace on earth, good will to men, From Heavâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n all gracious King;â&#x20AC;?

The world in solemn silliness lay To hear the angels sing.

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!

Joyful all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With thâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem!

Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.

O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL O, Come all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and beyhold Him, Born the King of angels;

biography

MARVIN HAMLISCH LAST CONDUCTED THE PSO IN OCTOBER 2011.

marvin hamlisch Marvin Hamlisch’s life in music is notable for its great versatility as well as substance.

As a composer, Hamlisch has won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony and three Golden Globe awards; his groundbreaking show, A Chorus Line, received the Pulitzer Prize.

He is the composer of many motion picture scores including his Oscar-winning score and song for The Way We Were and his adaptation of Scott Joplin’s music for The Sting, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films include original compositions and/or musical adaptations for Sophie’s Choice, Ordinary People, The Swimmer, Three , Ice Castles, Take the Money and Run, Bananas, Save the Tiger and his latest effort The Informant! (Sept. 2009) starring Matt Damon, and directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Marvin Hamlisch holds the position of Principal Pops Conductor for the National Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony and San Diego Symphony.

Hamlisch was Musical Director and arranger of Barbra Streisand’s 1994 concert tour of the U.S. and England as well as of the television special, “Barbra Streisand: The Concert” (for which he received two of his Emmys).

Hamlisch is a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and Queens College (where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree). He believes in the power of music to bring people together. “Music can make a difference.

There is a global nature to music, which has the potential to bring all people together.

Music is truly an international language, and I hope to contribute by widening communication as much as I can.” pittsburghsymphony.org 19

Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh As Pittsburgh’s oldest continuing performing arts organization at 103 years young, The Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh is passionate about choral music. By singing choral music at the highest level, the Choir combines the clarity of words with the mystical power of music so that the deepest and most universal of human expressions are magnified through a community of voices.

As the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s “chorus of choice,” the Mendelssohn Choir has performed under the baton of some of the world’s foremost conductors including Lorin Maazel, Mariss Jansons, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Michael Tilson Thomas, Claudio Abbado, Mstislav Rostropovich, Leonard Slatkin, Charles Dutoit, André Previn, Sir Neville Marriner, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Helmuth Rilling, Ingo Metzmacher, Richard Hickox, Zdenek Mácal and Manfred Honeck. Performances of the Choir with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra are heard locally over WQED-FM (89.3) and distributed nationally by PRI. Under the direction of Betsy Burleigh, the Choir has become known for its mastery of the great choral classics. Most recently under her direction, the Mendelssohn Choir has performed Bach’s majestic Mass in B Minor and the Brahms Requiem to sold-out audiences at East Liberty Presbyterian Church and Dr. Burleigh led the chorus in a critically acclaimed performance of Rachmaninoff’s a cappella masterwork, the Vespers, at St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The Choir has numerous commissions and premieres to its credit, including works by Ned Rorem, Nancy Galbraith and Derek Bermel. A leader and collaborator in the regional arts community, the Mendelssohn's artistic partners have included the Pittsburgh Opera, the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, the River City Brass Band, the Children's Festival Chorus, the Duquesne University Tamburitzans and, most recently, the Senator John Heinz History Center as guest performers for the opening gala for the Vatican Splendor exhibit. The Mendelssohn Choir con24 pittsburghsymphony.org

tinues to garner critical accolades as it shares the joy of choral music with the more than 50,000 individuals who hear the Mendelssohn in performance each year. The more than 120 singers who comprise the Mendelssohn share a remarkable commitment to the art of making great choral music and collectively contribute more than 35,000 volunteer hours each year.

Through its recordings and commissions of new choral works, the Mendelssohn Choir seeks to advance the choral art. The Choir’s most recent recording released in the fall of 2011 is Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Children’s Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh with Manfred Honeck conducting.

As part of its commitment to educating the next generation of choral musicians, approximately 50 high school singers participate in the Junior Mendelssohn Program. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Junior Mendelssohn which will be celebrated with a Junior Jubilee and Reunion. Junior Mendelssohn alumni can be found in concert halls and on opera stages throughout the world. The Junior Mendelssohn achieved national acclaim earlier this year when it was honored nationally with a 2011 American Prize for best vocal performance by a high school chorus.

The Mendelssohn Choir is a Steinway Artist.

biography

Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School While the founding of Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (PBT) School pre-dates that of the company, the two were merged under the direction of Patrick Franz, PBT’s Artistic Director from 1977-1982.

The Pre-Professional Division of the school experienced a surge of growth and development under the direction of Patricia Wilde, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s Artistic Director from 1982-1998.

Today, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School (PBT School) is recognized as one of the nation’s finest schools for dance education and training.

The School is under the direction of internationally renowned PBT Artistic Director Terrence S. Orr, School Directors Marjorie Grundvig and Dennis Marshall. PBT School offers a thorough and well-rounded dance education for more than 800 students of all ages, levels, and degrees of interest - taught by faculty and guest teachers of international acclaim. The school works to instill a long-term value of the art form in each student while emphasizing the study of diverse, high quality curriculum in a positive and inspirational learning environment.

PBT School provides classical ballet training through four divisions: children’s, student, preprofessional (high school & graduate), and Adult.

The children’s division introduces very young children to dance through Pre-Ballet and Beginning Ballet classes. As students move into the student division, they begin studying classical

technique. Many students in this division have the opportunity to audition for and perform in Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s annual presentation of The Nutcracker and other repertoire productions.

The pre-professional division (high school & graduate) is the keystone of the school, training the next generation of professional dancers.

Admission to this program is by audition and invitation only.

The adult division’s open ballet classes are offered for adults in beginning through advanced level ballet. cardio kickboxing, hip hop, pilates mat classes and private pilates sessions are also offered.

Each year, PBT School embarks on an audition tour, traveling across the United States auditioning students for a five-week Intensive Summer Program (ISP). Approximately 150 students attend the ISP program. From this group, select students are invited to attend the pre-professional program each year.

The school’s modern and air-conditioned facility is conveniently located in Pittsburgh’s famed Strip District, just 1.5 miles from the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. It features five spacious studios with brand new sprung Harlequin floors.

Free parking is available. Live music accompanies most classes.

You don’t have to live with painful varicose and spider veins.

Should I Have My Veins Evaluated?

Q & A WITH A VEIN SPECIALIST: While finishing charts at the end of my day, I took a few moments to listen to my staff answer questions for a patient on the phone. The questions asked were very important as were the answers that were given. Here are some examples: What is Phlebology?

Phlebology is the branch of medicine that deals with veins and the disease of veins. Two organizations dedicated to the advancement of this field are The American College of Phlebology and the American Venous Forum.

I had a free screening at a health fair and was told that I don't have venous disease, but I still have aching, pain and discoloration at the ankles. What should I do?

While free screenings can be informative, remember that this is just a brief glance into a patient's venous system. A complete venous exam and venous mapping by a board-certified phlebologist is best to determine if a patient has venous disease.

Since a proper venous ultrasound is such an integral part of this evaluation, the American College of Phlebology has set requirements for it that include the following: • A venous ultrasound should be ordered by a physician.

• A lower extremity ultrasound should study the entire leg, from ankle to groin. Failure to identify and treat all sources of reflux may result in out right treatment failure.

• Evaluation of the venous system should be per formed with the patient in the upright position.

Sitting or lying down are inappropriate for the detection of reflux or the measurement of vein diameters.

• A venous ultrasound should be performed by a trained physician or a registered vascular ultra sound technician (RVT) and then interpreted by a physician.

Why should I see a board- certified phlebologist to evaluate my varicose veins When it comes to any aspect of your health care, it is important to be proactive in the choice and research of who will become medically responsible for your evaluation and treatment.

Though venous disease is not always a visible ailment, it can be a serious health problem leading to more serious issues, so choosing a specialist, or board certified phlebologist for your venous care is a wise decision.

Board certification in phlebology identifies a physician who has taken the extra step of becoming specialized in the treatment of venous disease. Not only is the physician often a member of organizations such as the American College of Phlebology (ACP) and the American Venous Forum (AVF) but they have met additional requirements set by the certifying board. After meeting these requirements, he or she must then pass a certifying exam allowing the physician to identify him or herself as If I have had an evaluation elsewhere, can I still be board-certified. evaluated in your office?

Of course. A free evaluation is commonly ‘ free’ Is membership the same as board certification? because patients are often not meeting with a physiThis question is particularly important as it cian, a physician assistant or a nurse practitioner, so defines the specialty of a phlebologist.

Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed Naming Opportunities for guest artists, musicians' chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity.
